Society & Culture
Ever found yourself lost in life? Suddenly after a job ends unexpectedly, or as a result of a break up, you simply don't know what to do next. It's not uncommon, and in fact many people find travelling aimlessly for a while can recharge the batteries and alter their perspective in ways they couldn't achieve when in a routine back at home. We hear from Gabi, who after 12 years living a comfortable life working in London, was made redundant and decided to venture out to Australia, India and Nepal - all places she once never dreamed of going. We are also joined by James, who took a work sabbatical and travelled South Africa and Asia, talks about how travelling can sometimes bring on challenges you don't get in your 'normal' life, yet it is those moments of struggle that can turn into triumph when you realise you can actually do something you thought you couldn't - whether it's a yoga retreat with no yoga experience or climbing a mountain that you maybe weren't well prepared for.
